Responsive Design‘accepting the ebb and flow of things’> Lessons • It is impossible to separate the code with the design so it helps to be comfortable with doing both. • It takes a lot of trial and error • Use devices as much as possible – simulators are good but there are always slight differences. • Be prepared for constant tweaks (this never ends!) • Have an endless supply of cake and tea!
